Cowgirl Chocolates Review & Giveaway

When I heard about Cowgirl Chocolates I knew I just HAD to try them! I love chocolate and I love spicy food. Put the two together and I am in heaven! A little about Cowgirl Chocolates:

Head Cowgirl Marilyn Lysohir founded Cowgirl Chocolates in 1997. Her two favorite things in the world are art (she has a notable career as a ceramic sculptor) and chocolate. In fact her first job was working in a chocolate factory in Pennsylvania. Marilyn mingled some favorite memories with some new ideas to create an American original, Cowgirl Chocolates...chocolates with a spicy cowgirl kick. She was the pioneer, one of the first companies to offer spicy chocolates in the world.
Cowgirl Chocolates has won a total of 19 product awards and 2 packaging awards and is located in Moscow, Idaho USA. It has also been featured on the Food Network on “Unwrapped” and “Extreme Cuisine” and on CNBC “On the Money”. They have also been written up in the New York Times, InStyle, the Toronto Star among others.

As you can see in the picture, I received 4 flavors to try; Spicy Almond, Spicy Raspberry, Spicy Toffee and Mild Hazelnut. They are all absolutely delicious. My favorite is the Spicy Raspberry, the dark chocolate and raspberry taste so wonderful together and then the sneaky heat comes up and it is truly a wonderful combination. I also really enjoyed the Mild Hazelnut! As a milk chocolate lover and I really enjoyed the creaminess of the chocolate and the nutty flavor of the hazelnuts. You can't go wrong with any of these chocolates!
